Yep. The ultimate case of being backed into a corner. No soundchip!

Nope.. the tracker didn't scroll during playback.... so I made scroll

I honestly didn't think it would work!

I've just finished capping tomorrows #MODtober which involved a python script to do 1295 screen grabs, duping png's based on the trackers line speed, ffmpeg to generate a video and davinci resolve to sync up the audio..... wtf am I doing?!

Todays #MODtober comes in the shape of a TIC-80 sized curveball. My first pop at the fantasy console resulted in me wiriting code as the music straddled multiple tracks and cartridge slots.

How about a little #MODtober for lunch? Today is the frenetic sprint through uplifting and gnarkly DnB that is Krunk'D. Released at Datastorm 2014 Amiga Muic Compo.

Keep an eye on those patterns!

Early #MODtober today as I'm off out in a bit.

Todays slab of M.K. is from the recent art pack / music disk, Textual Healing Vol. 2. I went for a post-dubstep / ambient garage style this time as it seemed to fit looking at loads of excellent text mode artwork.

Continuing with #MODtober I'l be posting bits from my back catalogue. Today is Berlin Warehouse, a techno track I made for the Tactical Transmissions music disk from last year. Rigid techno rythms paired with Drum n Bass wobble make it all a little unsettling.

Demosceners... please link my good pal hitch your demoscene artwork and give him a big thumbs up to use it for his streams please. In the age of AI slop, let's promote art made by humans!

Hitch @retrostreamers.com · 17d

I'm looking for your art work to feature on a section of my stream backed by @h0ffman.bsky.social and Ram Bank 2 Tony Hart style Gallery. Using ZX Spectrum art, Amiga art done with Deluxe Paint and more, all based on the love for Retro Computers with your name, Artwork and of course, AGE! Fancy it?

It's far from riff in the Amiga demoscene. One release inparticular this year went a overboard on AI graphics and theres a couple of pics here and there, but we ain't gonna see an AI ProTracker tune for a long while I reckon.
